BBC uutisoi siitä, miten simpanssit metsätävät keihäillä:
"Adult males have long been regarded as the hunters in chimp groups.
But the authors of the paper in Current Biology said females, particularly adolescent females, and young chimps in general were seen exhibiting this behaviour more frequently than adult males.
"It's classic in primates that when there is a new innovation, particularly in terms of tool use, the younger generations pick it up very quickly. The last ones to pick up are adults, mainly the males," said Dr Pruetz, who led the National Geographic Society-funded project.
This is because young chimps pick the skill up from their mothers, with whom they spend a lot of their time.
"It's a niche that males seem to ignore," Dr Pruetz told BBC News.
Many areas where chimpanzees live are also home to the red colobus monkey, which the chimps hunt. However, the Senegal site is lacking in this species, so chimps may have needed to adopt a new hunting strategy to catch a different prey - bushbaby.
The authors conclude that their findings support a theory that females may have played a similarly important role in the evolution of tool technology among early humans. "
Kerta kaikkiaan mielenkiintoienn ajatus, että naiset ovatkin keksineet kaikki ihmiskunnan suuret keksinnöt(kaikki perustyökalut) ja viimeisiä innovaatioiden omaksujia ovatkin MIEHET, joita on aina niin kekseliäiksi väitetty.
